If you loved the movie, then here is the soundtrack that runs for 46 minutes including a 6 minute long song with just music played. On this cd has some new Christmas songs and older Christmas songs perfomed by Frank Sinatra, The Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby, which includes some of the singers performing together on a couple of the songs, and then we have some orginal songs through in sung by Tom Hanks, Steven Tyler, Josh Groban, and a duet between Matthew Hall and Meagan Moore.

If you love any of these songs, singers, or this movie, you might even want to think about adding this soundtrack to your collection. But it is nice to hear some new Christmas songs on this cd like When Christmas Comes to Town. Now you might be surpised to see that Tom Hanks is lisited as a singer on here, and he does it without the usual when actors aren't known for singing, or can't sing, then most of the time somebody is paid to come in a do the singing voice of a character no matter whether the film is live action or animation.

Incredible Soundtrack but too many old songs in it

I must say Polar Express was indeed a most wondrous movie. After watching the movie, I went to get the soundtrack the next day because the music was absolutely breathtaking. What especially stands out is "When Christmas Comes To Town", featuring a wonderful duet by 2 kids with voices that are very sweet. This song captures the mood of the movie and is simply incredible. "Believe" sung by Josh Groban is another marvellous song and I simply love it.



My complaint though, is that on this cd, there are only 8 tracks which were composed for this movie. The other tracks are all from long ago and just doesn't make the cd worth it. The score by Alan Silvestri is wonderful but with the other half of the cd being old songs, I'm not sure if it is worth the price. But if you like Christmas music and like to have the feeling of Christmas, this is certainly the cd for you

Wonderful!

Fantastic soundtrack to a truly magical movie! My favorite is "When Christmas comes to town" but all the songs are great, from the old to the new, definately gives you that warm and fuzzy Christmas feeling!
